Betray the age to be spiritually free

On stage he's like a spiritual Billy Connolly (with the same colourful language), but Alan Clements is an artist-activist who is bent on making the world safe for peace.

A former war zone journalist, Buddhist monk, and biographer of Aung San Suu Kyi, Alan is a spiritual maverick whose recent book A Future to Believe In is intended to inspire us to challenge conformity and inculcate a revolution of peace that starts from the naked truth of who you really are.
